Album title: London 03.06.17
Artist: Aphex Twin/AFX
Genre: Techo/Dance/Electronic
Nationality: English
Release date: June 3
Position in Discography: Twenty-fourth EP; Thirty-third overall
Estimated Rating:

Have I heard of this artist? Yes
Have I heard anything by this artist? Yes
Average RYM Score: 3.31
I'm no fan of techno, nor particularly of Aphex Twin, so this may be a hard sell. Apparently this EP was released at the London Field Day Festival directly after he played his set, and not officially released through his own website until July. Well, this may be great to dance to (although some of it, I wonder) but it's not much to listen to, not for me. “Em2500 M253X” is a nice sort of piano piece, nicely laid back, but it's very much the exception. Mostly this is kind of hard electronic/experimental/glitch (?) music that doesn't appeal to me in any way. I do however have to laugh at the ignorance of a comment like this on Discogs: "IMHO His music is better than Mozart and Beethoven combined!!"

Check out more from this artist? No
Check out more from this genre or subgenre? Maybe
